I tried it.. the first result is without quotation marks

Results 1 - 10 of about 8,330,000 for remove Internet Explorer XP. (0.18 seconds)

This one is with quotation marks

Results 1 - 4 of about 162 for "remove Internet Explorer XP". (1.07 seconds)

Now, I took the liberty of going to some of the hits, and sure enough, Internet Explorer is a Microsoft product.. but what has the amount of hits gotten to do with Microsoft?..

I know there was a version of Windows 98 that worked without IE. I think MS lost a lawsuit somewhere in Europe & was required to make IE removable under court order.


Google "ieradicator". I used it back when I was running 98. There were some things built in to IE that interfered with Netscape. Ieradicator removed them along with IE.

Haven't looked for it for XP since I have a couple of sites I need to regularly visit that won't respond properly to Netscape or mozilla based browsers. Don't think the sites work with Safari either.

So I keep IE onboard simply for visiting those sites.
